We enjoyed the views in this small town. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue was the limited hours of operation of the public bus. The last bus from Interlaken departed at 7pm. We ended up paying $60 for taxi to return from Interlaken at one night.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Very friendly staff. Comfortable room/bed. All was very clean. Breakfast was good. The bathroom needed to be remodeled, but functional, clean, plenty of hot water. I think it is in the owner's plan to redo the bathrooms soon. Location was good for Interlaken area, but in a quiet area instead of busy city. We would stay here again.

Amazing stay, amazing hosts
Our stay was wonderful at Gasthof Baren. We ate of the the best meals we had on our entire 2 week trip with the most hospitable treatment by our hosts. I would recommend anyone stay at this location, my only wish is that we stayed longer. Habkern is very sweet and I would recommend anyone stay in Habkern and take the bus into interlaken for day trips. The bus was very easy and convenient from the hotel.

The staff was amazing!! When we had to leave early to go to Jungfraujoch and had to miss breakfast, they packed a very generous breakfast with sandwiches, juice and fruit for us to have on our way. They even accommodated my gluten allergy. Tremendous people!

Quaint hotel, some rooms likely better than others
I think a positive stay at this hotel depends a lot on your room assignment and the other guests being respectful of the posted hours. Our room was directly next to the shared terrace, and we slept horribly. It was hot in the room with no fans, but guests were outside our window and in the apartment a story up until very late, and then others were outside early in the morning. We did open the windows for a few hours and that was more pleasant. Overall, it was a pleasant hotel but very sparse and small. My daughter opted to sleep on the floor over the bed as she was too tall. The owners were very kind and the village of Habkern is lovely.
We were surprised at our experience given all the other rave reviews, so we figured it was just the room we got that was not great.

You need to stay at this hotel. It was our favourite hotel in Switzerland. 10 minutes up the mountain from interlaken. It is so peaceful and serene. The staff make you feel like family. The breakfast was amazing and the views. Just wow. The restaurant was fantastic and there is also an amazing bakery across the street. I could go on and on about this place. It’s magical. Stay here!!!
